Annotation Scale Applied To Cells
Original Tip Date:
Sep 21, 2006
Annotation scale applied to cells
The XM Edition extends the
annotation scale
concept to cells. In other words, when you change the active model's
Annotation Scale
factor, annotation cells in the model are automatically scaled by the new factor. Way Way Way COOOOOOL!!
The
Place Active Cell
tool is used to place annotation cells. The tool's settings window has a
Annotation Scale Lock
icon similar to the one for the
Place Text
tool and dimensioning tools. When you set the
Active Cell
to a cell that can be placed as an annotation cell, this icon is enabled. The icon's tool tip tells you the active model's annotation scale factor and the off/on state of the
Annotation Scale Lock
. If this lock is on, the model's
Annotation Scale
factor will be applied to the cell you are placing. To turn on the
Annotation Scale Lock
, click the icon.
